The shooting happened at 2:25 p.m. outside a home on Barbara Lynn Way near Briley Parkway and Brick Church Pike.

Metro police told News 2 the girl was sitting on a porch while her brother, who investigators believe was the intended target, was in the front yard.

A silver Nissan sedan drove down Lauren Evelyn Way toward the home and fired several shots, striking the girl.

The victim, whose identity has yet to be released, was taken to Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
